It all sounds so conventional
Shattered pieces of a fallen mind
I had a life within the mirror
How I treated it so unkind

Never cared to pick its pieces up
I dropped them so long ago
Now as soon as I need them
Their treasure’s not mine bestowed

Won’t you help me find them?
I swear they’re here somewhere
I really wouldn’t lie to you
I’ve built my soul with too much care

Oh please don’t walk right out the door
I need your help to lead me
To the last shard of vanished life
Oh God, just please don’t leave me

But you’re different now, I see
I cannot ask you to stay
I cried and cried and tried to keep you
But I knew you’d walk away

I hear your voice within my ears
You’ll always be there, you say
Yes, you’ll be within my head
But where will your mind lay?

I wish you were the way you’d been
Not this unpredictable fool
The mental abuse you’re giving yourself
Seems far beyond too cruel

It’s funny how life jumps around
In and out of your dust pan
I thought I’d swept up all the pieces
When I see one impaled in my hand

I’ll always know it represents
All the troubles I’ve been put through
But a constant reminder of what remains:
The constant thoughts of you
